💥 The Boom Is On

It’s the 1990s: Poly-bags, foil covers, and overhyped “collector’s editions” are everywhere.

In Comic Book Boom!, you’re a publisher chasing fortune in the era when every issue could sell a million copies — or crash the market entirely.

Each round you’ll:

  • Publish comics with explosive ‘90s themes, like Cyborgs, Ninjas, and Big Guns!

  • Enhance them with collectible gimmicks, like Hologram Covers and Poly-Bags.

  • Promote them with wild stunts, like Anniversary Issues and Crossover Events.

But push the hype too far and the bubble will burst, wiping out your profits!


⚡️ Fun, Fast & Fierce

Play simultaneously, keeping the pace snappy and the table lively.

Every decision feels risky—will your stunts ride the wave or crash the market?

"OMGOSH is it SO MUCH FUN!!! Played it once and was ready to reshuffle and play again!"

— @Meeple_Grande_Gamer_Geeks

“Deceptively deeper than it appears, requiring strategy and observation of opponents… a fun game to play.”

“Simultaneous play makes it fast and chaotic in the best way.”

  1. Research new cards — pay $1 per card in your hand, or spend a token for a free pick.

  3. Publish your books and move their themes up the Market Board.
